Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Land Transport, Gbenga Ashafa has commended President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration commitment on revitalization of rail lines in country. This came as the Federal Government resuscitated the moribund Ajaokuta-Itajpe-Warri rail line after its abandonment by successive administrations.

Ashafa made the remark, yesterday, during an oversight visit by the Senate Committee on Land Transport to the Itakpe-Warri Rail line on Tuesday, November, 6th, which is currently undergoing a test run.

Key stakeholders who were present at the oversight function included: Members of the committee, Senators Osinakachukwu Ideozu, Olanrewaju Tejuoso and Yahaya Gamau Lawal. The Federal Ministry of Transportation represented by the Government Inspector of Railways, Engr. A.B Yusuf, Managing Director of Nigerian Railway Corporation ably represented by Engr. B Kehinde (Deputy Director Rail Mobilzation and Rehabilitation, Fed Ministry of Transportation) as well as the representatives of Julius Berger Nigeria and China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation Ltd CCECC.

According to Ashafa: ” I am excited by the fact that after many years of lack of commitment by successive administrations, and failure by these administrations to revive this all important rail route, the Government of President Buhari has finally been able to do the needful. “You will recall that from the very beginning of our assignment in 2015, I assured you of the commitment of our committee to ensure that we work collaboratively with the executive to ensure that we deliver to the Nigerian people a functional railway system that cuts across the length and breadth of the country.

“This we have done through the guarantee of appropriation for critical infrastructure as well as effective monitoring of expenditure as at when due. We have disagreed on processes, checked and balanced ourselves as should be, but most importantly our collective resolve to see a Nigeria that works, a railway that functions and an administration that succeeds far outweighed our differences politically and institutionally. This remains our commitment”

“In the past three years of this administration, we have been able to work together (the Executive and this committee), to deliver to Nigerians the Port-Harcourt to Owerri line, the Abuja to Kaduna Standard gauge line, a substantial rehabilitation of the entire narrow gauge rail infrastructure which now includes the Ajaokuta – Itakpe – Warri line. We also have in the works for delivery very soon the Lagos to Ibadan Standard gauge line.”

At the end of the inspection by the committee which took them through Sector seven in Agbor, Sector 8 in Abraka and the Warri terminal point in Delta State, Ashafa commended and acknowledged the effort of the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi and all those who played a role in ensuring that the Ajaokuta- Itakpe-Warri rail line becomes operational.

He therefore, urged the contractor, Messrs. CCECC to continue to maintain a high standard of operation and to deliver on all outstanding projects, particularly the Lagos to Ibadan Standard gauge railway timely.

Both bridges are Kwankwaso's project, He completed the bridge in red and white at Gidan Murtala, while the bridge at Sabon gari was about 60% complete when He left office.

Blue3k:

bigdoo:
I am definitely sure that this flyover was never started by Buhari. So what's the big deal in commissioning a project someone else started?

Commanderinpips:
So it was constructed under four year keep deceiving your self.

michoim:
Giant strides by PMB within these short 3 years and with dwindling revenues from oil. What a great achievement! Truly corruption could have killed Nigeria but God using PMB to slowly kill corruption in a democratic dispensation. .

KingRagnar:
They may say PMB did not begin this construction but he certainly completed it PMBx2

So now you asked me what's stopping me? If you read up there, I already did. I'm only waiting for his reply. Even if he replied you will never be satisfied.

Remember something like this happened before and I contacted them on FB and posted their answer but you still critisized because of ideology differences. It doesn't matter which sect he belongs. You should simply confront him as muslim. It is your duty too.

But what you did by making takfr is what I'm trying to caution you about.

I have learned from Alhusunnah people that we not supposed to do that. I have also learned that from sheikh Adam's lecture not to do that to muslim. I can assure you the guy is not calling Sheikh Tijjani god. I'm sure he will deny that unless he's high on Igbo. I know that for real. Let's hope he replies. I don't talk to him often. He's not my friend. I only read his posts randomly

Empiree:
see, this is the problem we are facing as Muslims. This is why I said what I said. it means you are concerned about sect the guy associated with not the essence to correct his mistakes. This isn't right

**MODIFIED**

And you said totally not the same. Don't we have Muslims today who say "if you make Dua or dhikr you see nothing but Allah". This makes them kufar?

Statement like that is very common. Hadith says that too.

Empiree:
dont judge him like that. You should try to contact him and admonish him first to clarify himself. When Nabi Ibrahim alaiy salaam said he saw Allah, Allah did not declare him kafir. Instead He(azal wajal) made him khalilullah. Which means, at some point in our lives, we go through series of adventures searching for God. What happened to sayyidina Ibrahim was that he was searching for Allah when he made that statement but Allah did not rebuke him but made him "father of believers"

Codes151:
our leaders and elders have messed us up! I know it’s a good thing to have a refinery in nigeria but we sat and allowed one man build a refinery! It’s wrong! For nigeria, communities as well! Where will oil come from? Who will be working there in the refinery? U think it will be unbiased? DPR , NnPc look at it all

Niger delta leaders are just useless

Empiree:
This is in response to your request for the group called "Yan Haqiqa".

I just found this posted today

Firebomber:
did you allow Christian to have deputy in Niger state. lol you see your life.

you request for people to show you where a Muslim is deputy in a region that even the Muslim population is insignificant, yet you can't show me that of NORTH WEST.

and as for taraba state I guess your foolishness and hatred for non Muslim cannot allow you to see anything truthful again.

well pleateu state will consider inter religion tickent once your Niger state start doing so despite the Christian population there

Blue3k2:
The looming strike is a big if. Hopefully after the G.E starts managing it things get better for commuters.

Ziggylady:
You are confused..why are you calling East?..did anyone complain about Kano,Sokoto,Zamfara.Yobe, e.t. running on a Muslim-muslim ticket?...Kaduna State is not predominantly Muslim so why should the Governor and his Deputy be muslims?...

You muslim michief-makers are just pure anarchist...Peace,equity and fairness are virtues you alll loath with a passion.

PaChukwudi44:
story for the gods.We can as well say other muslim Governors who also won before card readers also rigged their elections

PaChukwudi44:
did Yakowa not win election in kaduna state

PaChukwudi44:
why don't you win first before you start issuing childish threats
